<br><br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I am going to NYC and will be staying in a hotel with no microwave in the 
<br><br>room. I want to stay smart about breakfast without having to eat out every 
<br><br>morning. Any suggestions? Thanks!
<br><br>
<br><br>Big Apple Breakfast
<br><br>  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br> Dear Big Apple,
<br><br>
<br><br>I'm all too familiar with NYC trips, so I definitely have some tips and tricks 
<br><br>for you. The first thing I do when I check into my hotel is head to a deli to 
<br><br>pick up some essentials. New York City is PACKED with delis that are more 
<br><br>like mini grocery stores, and they usually sell amazing HG-friendly items. I 
<br><br>grab lots of bottled water, whole fruits (apples, bananas, etc.), and a few 
<br><br>emergency snack bars (Gnu bars are sold EVERYWHERE in NYC!!!). If the 
<br><br>hotel has a stocked mini fridge, sometimes you can have it emptied (or 
<br><br>empty it yourself!) and then put your own stuff in there. If there is no mini 
<br><br>fridge in the room, some hotels will actually bring you one if you request it. If 
<br><br>you do have some sort of "chilling" option, when you make your deli run, 
<br><br>grab a few containers of fat-free yogurt and some light string cheese. Hard-
<br><br>boiled eggs are another great option -- they're CHEAP and delicious. I ditch 
<br><br>the yolks and eat about three egg whites with some fruit. That's a great light 
<br><br>and protein-packed way to start your day. The key is to locate your deli 
<br><br>early on. It'll end up helping you a TON... I promise. Use these tips for hotel 
<br><br>stays anywhere -- if there are no good delis, just hit up a supermarket. Safe 
<br><br>travels! P.S. Remember to pack your emergency snacks!
<br><br>

<br><br>Dear HG,
<br><br>
<br><br>I've noticed that high-fructose corn syrup is an ingredient in several products 
<br><br>you LOVE (like Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers). I hear that stuff is really awful 
<br><br>and should be avoided. What's the deal?
<br><br>
<br><br>Highly Confused About Fructose Syrup
<br><br>  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br> Dear Highly Confused,
<br><br>
<br><br>Thanks for this Q. Hungry Girl is all about living and eating in the real world --
<br><br> figuring out what to eat in any situation and doing the best you can every 
<br><br>day. Everyone knows that things like fish, lean meats, fruits and veggies are 
<br><br>good for them. It gets a lot trickier when it comes to navigating the 
<br><br>supermarket aisles for decadent foods and things you CRAVE, ones that 
<br><br>aren't super-fattening. That's where I come in. However, since I'm not a 
<br><br>doctor, I called on my good pal Dr. Melina Jampolis (who is an actual MD, a 
<br><br>nutrition specialist, and the author of The No Time to Lose Diet) to help with 
<br><br>this HFCS question. She says, "While high-fructose corn syrup consumed in 
<br><br>large amounts -- from things like non-diet soft drinks (which are pure HFCS) 
<br><br>and sugary juice drinks -- MAY have some negative health and weight-loss 
<br><br>consequences, having small amounts (less than 10 grams per serving) -- 
<br><br>from foods like low-fat/fat-free dairy products and condiments -- is not a 
<br><br>major dietary issue." What she says makes a lot of sense and is important to 
<br><br>digest (no pun intended). In the case of the (awesome) Wish-Bone Salad 
<br><br>Spritzers, those only have 10 - 15 calories a serving, so the amount of HFCS 
<br><br>in each serving is MINIMAL. HFCS packs a lot of calories, so low-calorie foods 
<br><br>in small amounts can only contain so much of it. Dr. Melina also says it's 
<br><br>important for dieters to focus on lowering OVERALL intake of refined sugars, 
<br><br>as opposed to just focusing on high-fructose corn syrup as the nutrition 
<br><br>villain, which I think is great advice. Now maybe everyone out there will be 
<br><br>able to breathe a bit easier when they discover their favorite 100-calorie 
<br><br>pack or fat-free yogurt contains a small amount of the stuff...
